Lydia Bright left the Essex glamour behind to showcase some real style at the TOWIE wrap party – unlike her co-stars.

She had clearly opted to spread her wings away from the usual Essex attire in favour of a more sophisticated look for the end of season party last night, held at Sugar Hut in Brentwood.

The mustard yellow dress ensured Lydia stood out from the crowd while her co-stars, including Sam and Billie Faiers, Cara Kibey and Billie Mucklow, faded into the background.

The off-the-shoulder piece, from Virgos Lounge, was cinched in at the waist and then fell around her hips with a slit up the middle. She teamed the outfit with a matching yellow clutch bag and nude heels.But, as if the dress wasn’t enough of a statement, Lydia also chose last night to show off her new shorter hairdo.

The blonde beauty was clearly chuffed with her new look as she beamed proudly while posing for photos with new boyfriend Tom Kilbey, the brother of her best friend Cara.He opted for a much more casual look in blue denim jeans and a plain black T-shirt with matching leather jacket.

Faiers sisters Sam and Billie also turned plenty of heads at the party, but not because their outfits oozed sophistication or glamour.

Billie had opted for a pale green Lipsy dress covered in gold studs and although it wasn’t the shorted frock she’s ever worn out, the low-cut plunging neckline left little to the imagination.

As she posed for photographers outside the nightspot, at one point she seemed slightly concerned she was about to suffer a wardrobe malfunction as she peered down at her bust to check they were still covered up.

Sam also had her cleavage on show in a dress by Virgos Lounge. It featured a white top with off-the-shoulder straps and a brightly cooured sequin skirt.

Other stars that donned their glad rags for the evening included Billi Mucklow, Cara Kilbey and Frankie Essex.

James Argent also scrubbed up for the occasion, no doubt trying to grab Lydia’s attention in a dapper dark grey suit.

Joey too added a splash of style to the evening in blue jeans matched with a whit shirt and grey tie, as well as a pale blue jacket.

Although he was smiling as he arrived at Sugar Hut, he undoubtedly had a bigger smile later on in the night after Sam posted a cosy picture of the pair enjoying a smooch.
